Use “Method 2.2” from this post: You need to reclaim your server, but don't dare to touch the Windows Registry
Tell your web browser to NOT delete the cookies from plex.tv when it is closed. Many browsers do that now by default, so you need to create an exception rule in their settings
Some tips for trouble free operation of a Plex server:
- Put your Plex server inside a private network/home network
- Avoid home network “fragmentation”
- Use a designated private IP range for your private network
- Give the server and your NAS static local IP adresses
- Avoid using more than one network adapter in your server machine
- Disable power saving for network adapters
- Don’t let hard drives spin down their platters
- Don’t rely on Windows to store access credentials to file servers/NAS devices
- Configure “DNS rebinding protection” in your router/DNS resolver
- Make sure all involved devices have accurate date/time
- Always use a “staging” folder for preparing your media files
- Don’t point a Plex library to a “naked” drive letter
- Stick to the Plex naming conventions
- Never mix up media folders, Plex data folder, and the Transcoder temporary folder
- Before assigning an email address to a plex.tv account, make sure it’s actually ready to receive mail
- Avoid using a VPN service
